ON OUR RADAR THIS FIRST THURSDAY BETWEEN CAPE TOWN AND JOHANNESBURG

Louis Minaar Solo Exhibition at 99 Loop Gallery 

“Breathing. To most of us, it comes naturally. For many others, particularly those for whom anxiety is a daily struggle, that is not the case. The interrelation between breath and state of mind is the inspiration behind Pretoria-based visual artist Louis Minnaar’s latest exhibition multi-sensory installation, Breathing Room. The radial shapes within them mimic the stylistic qualities and movement of conscious breath. The stills are on display and for sale in the exhibition as unique prints. Breathing Room is on show at the gallery until August 20th. Be sure to experience it.

Patrick Bongoy Solo Exhibition at Southern Guild Gallery
‘Unseen Dimensions of the Known’ by @patrickbongoy, his first solo with Southern Guild since joining the gallery in 2021. This solo encompasses sculpture, woven tapestries, paintings and site-specific installations, including a work commissioned for @bmwsouthafrica, ‘The Braided Bone Chamber’. Bongoy continues to create an innovative visual language with hessian and rubber and he has  engaged in collaboration once more with South African poet @malikandlovu.

Fhatuwani Mukheli ‘Double Exposure’ at Gorgeous George

Kindred Gallery and Gorgeous George present influential shape-shifter and twofold artist-photographer, Soweto-born @fhatuwanimukhell’s

debut solo show in The Pink Room. ‘Double Exposure’ takes on inspiration from the various aspects of the artist’s personal life which involve duality and juxtaposition: his photography background, being a twin, being a “character” in the influencer world whilst being someone else in real life.

Here, Fhatuwani moves away from the palpable narratives that characterized his previous bodies of work. Instead, the artist’s new body of mixed media objects are what usher into a new chapter of introspective experimentation.

Artist Admin Cape Town and Joburg 

In Cape Town Artist Admin will be transformed into the world of local artist Jean De Wit. Jean’s

latest body of work, ‘Out of Town’, is a collection of landscape paintings depicting various scenes from around Cape Town that playfully and skeptically explore a variety of subtle paradoxes. Join in this First Thursday, the 4th of August at 6 pm, to explore the unfamiliar terrain of our beloved Cape Town through the circus eyes of Jean de Wet.
